[Xen-users] Problems with X on dom0
Hello all, I seem to have found some sort of imcompatibility between Xen and Xorg on my computer. Here are the current specs: Asus P4B533-V w/ BIOS v. 1008 Intel 845G graphics adapter 1GB RAM IDE-RAID with Adaptec 2400 Debian Sarge Stock Kernel 2.6.8 X.org 6.9 from backports Xen built from unstable dated October 23rd, 2006 When booting from the stock kernel, X starts up perfectly. When booting from the compiled Xen kernel, X will not start. (Please see included x.org log files) Same situation running with the following configurations: Debian Sarge, Xfree86 4.3, Xen 3.0.2 binary and 3.0.3 source Ubunty Edgy, X.org 7.1, Xen 3.0.3 binary and source I have also tried replacing the i810 driver with the vesa driver in my config with the same results. I`ve also tried upgrading the system bios to v.1009 beta The main issue is presented in the following lines in my xen Xorg log file. Obviously, the BIOS isn''t set to reserve 320kB or memory, it''s set for 8mB. (II) I810(0): VESA VBE Total Mem: 320 kB (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM: Brookdale-G Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Software Rev: 1.0 (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: Intel Corporation (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Product: Brookdale-G Graphics Controller (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Product Rev: Hardware Version 0.0 (II) I810(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 845G (--) I810(0): Chipset: "845G" (--) I810(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xF0000000 (--) I810(0): IO registers at addr 0xED000000 (II) I810(0): 1 display pipe available. (II) I810(0): detected 8060 kB stolen memory. (WW) I810(0): Detected stolen memory (8000 kB) doesn''t match what the BIOS repor ts (320 kB) (II) I810(0): Kernel reported 8704 total, 0 used (II) I810(0): Checking Available AGP Memory: 34816 kB available (total 34816 kB, used 0 kB) (II) I810(0): Will attempt to tell the BIOS that there is 8128 kB VideoRAM (WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f11 not supported. Please find included some comparisons for x.org log files, kernel configs and loaded modules from booting with the stock kernel and the xen-enabled kernel. I''ve searched and I haven''t been able to find any resolutions for this issue. I was wondering if this was a known issue with xen and the i810 driver. I of course don`t need X, but I might be interested in running it in the future. I`m also concerned that this issue might affect my domU installations as well.
